How to Use Leave Manage

How to Use Leave Manage

Track leave balances by month, review team requests, and apply for time off — so attendance and payroll reflect approved absences.

Open Leave Manage

  1. Go to Leave Manage

    Click AttendanceLeave Manage under Manage. Three tabs organize the page:

    • Members

      Year-at-a-glance grid — days of leave taken per month and remaining Available balance per person (managers).

    • Leave Request

      All team leave requests with status — review, approve, or remove records (managers).

    • My Requests

      Your own leave history and the Apply for Leave button (every member).

    Full leave features are on Elite — see Pricing under Attendance & Leaves. Configure leave types and allowances before the team starts submitting requests.

Members tab

  1. Team leave overview

    The Members tab shows each person’s leave usage across Jan–Dec. Purple numbers are days taken that month; a dash means none. The Available column is remaining balance for the period.

    • Capacity planning

      Spot who has little leave left before approving more time off.

    • Year-end HR

      Export or screenshot this grid for annual leave reconciliation.

Leave Request tab

  1. Review team requests

    Managers open Leave Request to see every submission in one table.

    • Member

      Who requested leave.

    • Month & Days

      Which month and how many days (info icon explains the count).

    • Submitted At

      Date and time of the request for audit trails.

    • Reason

      Member’s note — illness, family event, election day, etc.

    • Status

      Approved, pending, or declined — green Approved badge when accepted.

    • Actions

      Delete or manage the record where your role allows.

    Approve or decline pending rows promptly so the Members tab and Clock In/Out summaries stay accurate.

My Requests tab

  1. Open My Requests

    Open the My Requests tab. Your past requests appear in the table with Month, Days, Submitted At, Reason, and Status (for example, Approved). Click Apply for Leave to start a new request.

  2. Submit the request

    In the Apply for Leave modal, pick your dates and reason, then click Submit Request. Your administrator reviews it on the Leave Request tab.

    • Leave Date Range

      Select start and end dates in the picker — the label shows the range and day count (for example, 1 day).

    • Reason

      Brief description for your approver — illness, family event, handover notes, etc.

    • Reset

      Clears the form if you need to start over.

    • Submit Request

      Sends the request for admin review — status stays pending until approved or declined.

    Apply before your leave starts so managers can plan coverage on Tasks → Workload.

  3. After approval

    Do not clock in on approved leave days unless policy says otherwise. Avoid logging billable time on Timesheets during full-day leave. Approved leave should show on attendance summaries, not as an unexcused absence.

Tips

  • Managers: check Members for balances before approving new Leave Request rows.
  • Members: use My Requests → Apply for Leave; do not ask managers to enter leave for you unless policy requires it.
  • Approve or decline within one business day — pending requests block accurate planning.
  • Pair approved leave with Tasks → Workload when reassigning deadlines.
